TopBraid Composer [1] is an RDF/OWL editor and has a Free Edition. This
is an Eclipse-based "desktop" system with support for TDB, SDB etc.
TopBraid Enterprise Vocabulary Net [2] is a web-based editor of RDF/OWL
classes and instances (and SKOS). You can try EVN from TopBraid Composer ME.
All TopBraid products are based on Jena.
Disclaimer: I work on both tools for my employer TopQuadrant.

Hi, Ian:
Thank you very much for your reply!
We are developing a product catalog application, which keeps descriptions
about product and product relationships attributes. This is an effort to
build from scratch, which means that we will let a group of users to
manually enter product information. I understand eventually we will have to
build a GUI customized to our needs, but is there any general-purpose
RDF/OWL tool that we can quickly leverage to start with. We are still fuzzy
on exactly what kinds of semantic functionality we actually need, but a
tool to help us to manually input RDF triples to a Jena datastore would be
good.
Thank you again!

We have a project that we are going to build the Semantic model from
scratch. Eventually we are going to use Apache Jena to query and update
the
model. What tool(s) do you recommend to build the model from scratch?
I'm not quite sure what you are asking. Can you please say more what
you intend by "building a model from scratch"? I could take a guess at
what that means, but it would be easier if you could expand the
question. Ideally, give an example of what you mean.
